Description: For many years we drove by this interesting little building and marveled at all the motorcycles parked there especially on the weekends. Your typical biker bar we thought. Then one day (after Ct had passed the no smoking in bars ban) we decided to stop in for a beer after work. They had a sign advertising a prime rib special. That must have been three years ago and we have hardly missed a Thursday since. Not only has it become “our place” our friends Richard and Jackie and Jeff and Cindy as well as our Grandson Alex have become great fans.
As soon as you walk in the door you begin to understand the attraction. It is open and dominated by a large wooden bar. We don’t sit at the bar however, there are booths, and tables both low and high.
The walls are covered with western memorabilia and some really funny signs. Live entertainment is offered on most weekends and Thursday night is Karaoke night. We always joke about staying late enough to perform but we never do...no talent in this group. There is also a pool table and there are some free game specials. Like most bars there are several TV and a jukebox.
All that is very nice but what keeps us coming back week after week is the food. It’s really good. Thur, Fri and Sat they offer prime rib, as a meal in two sizes and in a sandwich on a nice roll. Al rotates but when the prime rib is rare he never passes it up. When we were doing only Atkins this was the perfect place to eat. They have a double barrel burger which though normally served on a roll; they would do without for us. It is two perfectly cooked burgers with grilled onions and peppers and cheese.
I have to admit that all of us are addicted to their coleslaw. It is the best, some weeks more perfect than others but the horseradish is a kicker. We usually pass on the fries and get a double slaw.
There are plenty of other choices including a specials board. We begged them to make meatloaf for us and it now shows up regularly.
When we first started coming every week I would ask for a Corona Light and Jim (the Bartender) would tell me that didn’t have Corona Light. This went on for a couple of months. One Thursday wee walked in and Jim greeted us by saying “we have Corona Light” and they always stock it now.
I now understand the attraction of Cheers, it fun to have a place where the owner comes out and talks to you when you visit and the bartender has your drink at your table before you even order. Is this still a biker bar, yes it still is and I laugh when I tell Al that most of the bikers are the same age we are.
